Abstract
A pelvic stabilization device attachable to a wheelchair includes a pelvic support brace and an apparatus for attaching the pelvic support brace to a wheelchair. A pivot apparatus provides movement of the pelvic support brace with respect to the apparatus for attaching the pelvic support brace, the pelvic support brace being pivotable between a first, neutral position and a second, tilted position. A pivot return apparatus is attached to the pelvic support brace to return the pelvic support brace to the first, neutral position from the second, tilted position. A pivot limiting apparatus limits the amount of pivot of the pelvic support brace that is inducible by the pivot apparatus.
